Tricks to Please Your Partner

Utilizing OK Cupid (*cough* Craigslist classifieds) might have seemed like a great idea until you realized that placing your most misleadingly attractive photo on the Internet might actually work. Then it did. Congratulations! Now it’s just you, your partner, after-service Sunday brunches and once-a-month missionary-style sex. And, due to the latter, unnecessary boredom.

Gynecological teaching associate Kira Manser and an open mind could change all that. The founding member of ScrewSmart, a sex education collaborative that teaches “sex-positive classes” and holds “community events that support sex-positivity,” Manser will be bringing one of her courses on sexual health to the Velvet Lily, an adult shop in Northern Liberties, this Sunday. She’s a licensed social worker who last year told Sexually Smarter she’s set a goal of becoming “a therapist, educator, presenter, organizer and advocate” to “spread the belief that sex is something that can be incredibly healthy and positive.”

Sunday’s session is open to women of all orientations looking to spice things up—and let’s be honest, who isn’t looking for a little spice, what with OK Cupid going all mainstream and all? Skip your regular post-church meal this week, and feast on what Manser’s cooking at the Lily. Attendees will get an offer for 10-percent off all in-store purchases. / Randy LoBasso
